More than 95,000 people are in need of donated organs. And while 77 people receive an organ transplant every day, 18 people die each day waiting for a transplant that will never be because of the donated organ shortage.

Becoming a living donor is rare — information about doing so can be found at http://www.livingdonors.org, which is supported by the National Kidney Foundation — but otherwise, giving the gift of life by becoming an organ and tissue donor is easy.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Register with your state donor registry. California’s is the California Organ and Tissue Registry (www.donatelifecalifornia.org).

2. Designate your decision on your driver’s license.

3. Sign a donor card and carry it with you. The HRSA Information Center (ask.hrsa.gov/detail.cfm?id=HRS00259) has cards available at no cost.

4. Let your family know about your decision to become an organ and tissue donor. Your family members may be asked for consent for donation or provide information at a time of need.
